It was such a treat staying here for 4 nights on our first trip to Edinburgh from New Zealand. So spacious and felt like a real home with space for 3 adults. Excellent location, close to bus stop so getting into the central city was easy. Great cafes, restaurants and lovely shops just at the end of the road. Extremely well appointment flat with a beautiful garden to enjoy.

I contacted the host the day prior to our arrival asking if we could drop our bags off earlier than the check-in time, eg 12.00noon with the official check-in being 3.00pm. The reply was that would not a problem and as she was not going to be home until 6.00pm, just ring the door bell and the cleaner would let us in. Also, our room would be ready for us. The room we had was very comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast selection was great and very nice too. The location of the guest house good as only about 15 minutes walk from the main centre of Edinburgh. Also, there was a nice reasonably priced bar/restaurant almost across the road.
